The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Latest News

CD Projekt revealed earlier this week that the final free piece of DLC for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt would be a New Game + mode that would encourage players to run through the game a second time while keeping some of their character's skills and equipment.

The real, no doubt about it, honest-to-god final piece of free DLC for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt will drop shortly, and it's not a new quest or a new piece of clothing, but rather an excuse to go back and play the whole damn thing again.

Yes, CD Projekt is cooking up a New Game+ mode, and though there are few details revealed just yet, we all know how these things work; you'll presumably be able to start the story all over again, while keeping all of Geralt's skills, talents and equipment.

Those of you who have played your way through countless hours of The Witcher 3 will be fairly familiar with hero Geralt's roster of finishing moves by now. As fun as it is to see him do that quick-step decapitation move, it gets rather old the hundredth time you see it.

Rejoice, then, for the next piece of free DLC for CD Projekt's game, due out later this week, adds a new brand batch of execution animations for you to enjoy. You bloodthirsty monster.

Seemingly good news for those campaigning for the return of Shani, the red-haired medic from the original Witcher RPG. An updated artwork for the expansions seems to include Shani quite prominently.

CD Projekt RED has teased before that "new and dearly missed" characters will be turning up in the expansions. The studio refuses to confirm whether it's her saying they'll "leave that for the community to figure out."

CD Projekt has rolled out the much anticipated 1.07 patch for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, and according to a tweet from a community rep it should be available now across all platforms.

The developer revealed the key elements of the update last week, which include a new movement mode for hero Geralt that makes him control slightly less like a drunk man on rollerskates, a player stash, and (finally!) a separate area in your inventory for books.
